The Model Analysis on Route choice behavior based on Probe-Car Data

Analysis on route choice behavior is the key to analyzing travel behavior and traffic demand on road networks. The data from the probe-car systems are very useful for making it clear. In this study we analyze the route choice behaviors, especially the accuracy of the travel time information drivers use for route choicc and the fits of several route choice models The result indicates that drivers use rather rough information on expected travel conditions for route choice, and that necessity of analysis on dynamic route choice behavior and framework of route choice process.
